Discuss. I have yet to see a bad review. The majority are glowing

I haven't read any reviews in the media yet. The .org seems to like it though.

Too bad, even good reviews don't make an album better than it is! wink

Only song I find pretty annoying is Superconductor, after that the album is very good, except occationally boring on some of the ballads, as well as she could have had an adtvantage of having a more powerfull voice on funk songs. Even though her voice is more suitable on ballads, I actually find songs like yellow gold, people pleaser and if I was king the absolute best songs. John Blackwell does some amazing drums here, the horn section is perfect and the bass, guitar, keys etc just fit like a glove.

It IS very good. I'm amazed at how many so called fans are totally ignoring this just because it's a protegee. This album to me is more Prince than a Prince album....it's obvious that he pretty much did it all.

It's very much acoustic in a lot of songs and the nearest comparison for me is The Truth possibly coupled a bit with TRC (think If I Was King).

It is quite deep and has a certain maturity about it, this is especially noticeable when starting from Track 3 onwards...
